Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences by Muffy Wilson is an interracial erotic romance centered around the passions of Jordan Taylor, a socialite, and Mason D’Istafrio, a talented opera singer. Woven into the sensual tale is also a heartwarming story of family and of lovers reconciled as Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences jumps between Jordan and Mason's singular night of passion to their reunion ten years later and the news she has to share.

Mason is a man with three children and a dying wife and is surprised when Jordan shows up at his office, telling him of the daughter they now have. Still in love with both her and his dying wife he is conflicted, mostly as to why it took Jordan so long to tell him. Things change when Jordan shares that their daughter is terminally ill and in desperate need of a liver transplant.

Moonbeam of Unintended Consequences by Muffy Wilson is a decent read that manages to straddle the worlds of erotica and family drama. The characters and their passions are larger than life, and firmly ensconced in the entanglements of their world. The writing is quite florid and sometimes I forgot that the book wasn't set in some bygone romantic era and was actually supposed to be quite modern. The language is quite flowery as Wilson leads us through to the heights of passion and the tensions of drama. Good for anyone looking for a light, romantic read.

In Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences by Muffy Wilson, we meet Jordan Taylor, a privileged child. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and is registered to start at the California College of Art. In the fall she is planning to start her two-year curriculum to finish her masters in interior design. She first meets Mason D'Istrafrio when he appears on stage at the opening night of the San Francisco Symphony. Their eyes meet and a magical bond is formed, one that is both romantic and seductive. His magical voice fills her body with sensual thoughts. She spends a wonderful, romantic evening with him, one she will cherish for many years. They don't see each other again after that one night of heavenly bliss until ten years later, when she finds herself at the doors of his philanthropic company in need of help only he can offer.

Written in a beautiful, lyrical, flowing style, Muffy Wilson's book has captured an intense moment in time in a wonderfully worded and intimate style. Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences is a heartfelt and touching story of one moment in time, a time of wanton lust and love, without thought of consequences or tomorrow. One perfect moment captured forever. Many of us have experienced this "one perfect moment in time" and it often changes the course of our lives. We always look back with a fondness, an occasional yearning, but knowing we can never recapture this special time. The characters are enchanting and realistic, portraying their plight in a way that will touch anyone who has a heart. A wonderful, sad, touching, and beautifully told tale of love and hope. I loved the cover design. It was gorgeous, whimsical, mysterious and eye catching.

It was appropriately a lovely night when interior designer Jordan Taylor attended the theater to enjoy the sensuous songs of maestro Mason D’Istafrio. The moment he took that stage her breath was captured, her mind entranced, and her body came alive with emotions that must be satisfied. She felt his eyes on her and just knew that he was singing to her only. Following his performance, Mason was also afire with an intense need to find the ravishing beauty who had held him captivated. Surely she wasn’t a figment of his imagination. He must find her. He must have her. And have her he did. Body, mind and soul. She was his and he hers, if only for those fleeting hours after the concert. But they never forgot the passion shared and when ten years later they found themselves face-to-face once again, that shared passion ignited as if time had never separated them. The problem was that Mason was married and Jordan had a child. A critically ill child. Mason’s child. The result of their union in room 457.

Muffy Wilson has done it again with Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences. Wilson’s gift of intertwining erotic sex with actual reality has a spellbinding effect that leaves her readers gasping for air. In Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences not only does the story delight in the sensuous descriptions of love and lust, heart strings are ravaged by the plight of children left motherless as well as the fear of losing a child. Fans of Muffy Wilson will enjoy this addition to her growing list of credits.

In a great new offering from author Muffy Wilson, Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences will take readers on a fabulous, sexy and romantic ride that they won't soon forget. When the lovely Jordan meets handsome opera star Mason, their connection is electric from the start. Jordan becomes pregnant, but never tells Mason of their daughter, Lily, not wanting to infringe on his life and his relationship with his wife, whom he reconciled with soon after his passionate encounter with Jordan. But when Lily becomes gravely ill and needs a liver transplant, everything changes. Jordan realizes that Mason may be her only hope, and is willing to do anything to save her daughter's life, even if it means rekindling the dampened desires she has always held for Mason.

I very much enjoyed Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences. Author Muffy Wilson has done an excellent job in writing a book that is somehow both a sweet family story and a hot romance, all in one. That certainly is not an easy task, and one that could only be accomplished by a very skillful writer. Any reader who loves a great contemporary romance with real-life characters, not vampires or zombies, should absolutely read Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences. I am very pleased to highly recommend this book. I certainly look forward to reading more from author Muffy Wilson, and hope that she is already hard at work on her next great novel even as we speak!

Love between Strangers: A Timeless Romantic Expression

The story opens with Jordan Taylor traveling to Chicago to see her daughter’s father for the first time in a decade. He has gone on to become a world renowned opera star and philanthropist; she has become an established and respected designer in San Francisco. They met one long and soulful night a decade earlier and became lovers, that night—only that night.

Jordan has not seen nor talked to Mason D’Istrafrio since that one magical night in San Francisco when he entered the stage dressed completely in opulent black leather. She was dressed completely in white, looking like an evening dove, with a white gardenia adorning her wild auburn curls. His eyes locked on hers in all her purity and when his voice struck the first note, Jordan thought he sang to her and her alone. From that moment forward, they were tethered by a magnetic connection that sought erotic relief.

This book is a wonderful characterization of love between strangers, a timeless romantic expression that brings all lovers to the same destiny. In this case, however, that night brings them back together a decade later to face together the medical condition facing Lily, Jordan's daughter. Lily, diagnosed with a serious medical condition, needs a live donor transplant. She has an underlying condition which exacerbated her condition and shadowed the advancement of the disease making the damage irreversible.

This is the story of their struggle, the telling of a long kept secret, the humbling sublimation of asking for help, the private struggles of a man torn by love and pained by loss. It is the story of how children can knit broken lives together with love and the ancient, precocious innocence that only children possess. It is the story of growth, love, passion and submission.

It is a story of the struggle between love and acceptance with a poetic elegance similar to that of Jane Austen. And I loved it from the dedication to the final page.

Format: Kindle Edition
This story takes the reader on a pleasurable cruise of a renewed romance brought to the reader from the past of two characters. I fell in love with from the beginning to the end of this book. Muffy Wilson as the captain brings us passion and hopes for renewed love through the descriptions she intricately blends, savoring our palettes with delicacies we never forget. We are catered to hopes for a cure for Jordan's daughter and what it might mean to her long lost lover. Complications seem insurmountable, but with each turn of the page, a new horizon is seen, bringing a mood for hope and continued passion between the main character, Jordan, her daughter, Lily, and the man from her past, who will steal your heart with his compassion, love, and understanding. I was blind by the interracial relationship, observing the man who is more than an ordinary man. He gives us hope for Jordan and Lily. Muffy guides us through treacherous obstacles, only to restore our wishes for her sacred love and survival of her daughter and the resolution of a love affair from the past that is renewed with each page I turned. I full-hearted give Moonbeams and Unintended Consequences 5 Stars. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 starsSecrets and memories from the past
ByNona Raineson October 29, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
This story is a very interesting mix of erotic romance and sweet family story. It begins when young woman Jordan attends a concert featuring opera star Mason. He notices her in the audience and seems to sing especially for her. She responds to his overwhelming presence and the two to them spend a passionate night together.

Years later, we discover that Jordan has given birth to Mason's daughter. She never told him of Lily's existence, because though he was separated at the time of his interlude with Jordan, he and his wife later reconciled. Jordan never wanted to interfere with his life or marriage, but now things have changed. Lily is deathly ill, in need of a liver transplant, and Mason is her last hope.

This is a very touching, emotional and, in spite of the tragic theme, enjoyable story. The sexy parts occur at the beginning and end of the story. In between we have an emotional tale about dealing with the loss of a spouse, the possible loss of a child, and the upheaval in family life that changed circumstances bring. Jordan and Mason were characters I liked and admired very much. They put their responsibilities to their children (Mason has three with his late wife, in addition to Lily) before their own concerns. Even so, their old connection stirs memories and they realize their love has never died.

I really enjoyed the supporting characters as well. Miss Maddie, the housekeeper, is a gem, wanting to protect Mason and his children while developing a soft spot for Lily and Jordan. The kids were adorable, though maybe a bit too sweet at times--there was no sibling rivalry or tussling, none of the brattiness that might be expected from even the best behaved children. This is an interracial romance, Jordan being white and Mason black. I thought Mason's race was referred to perhaps too often in the opening chapter, though it isn't much of an issue as the story continues. There's really not much to complain about in this story. It was a very heartfelt read.

That said, I was a bit surprised that the book concluded before all the story threads were tied up! That means a second book is in the works. I hope Ms. Wilson publishes it soon--I need to find out what happens to Lily, Jordan, Mason and everyone else! I would give this story four and a half stars. I highly recommend Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences.

This is my second story that I read by Muffy Wilson and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this mix of romance and erotica in this story. Ms Wilson has given us a story line that flows smoothly from start to finish. The characters were easy to connect with and were well to developed and they seemed to grow with each other through the whole story. Ms Wilson has given us a very heartwarming story that tells about love and the emotions are strong and makes you feel sadness .happiness, heartbreak, and even more. This story is about Jordan and Mason ,It's been 10 years since Jordan has seem Mason and she's in town to see him. Jordan and Mason had spent one night of passion together and they haven't seen each other since then. Because Mason is married with three children and he also has a wife who's dying. But he's totally surprised when she shows up at his office, but after all these years he's still attracted to the beautiful Jordan. But he's wondering why she's come to see him, and then to his surprise she tells him that they have a daughter together, who is sick and needs a kidney transplant . He wonders why she ever told him about their daughter. Is the only realize she's tell him now about their daughter because she's sick,because she's needs his help? I could go on and tell you so much more about what happens next with Jordan and Mason, but that would spoil the story for you. I highly recommend that you read this touching story, because you won't be disappointed.

This is definitely not just an erotica book, it is so much more. Muffy Wilson wove a heartwarming story that was not only a sensual read but a tale of love. This heartwarming read gripped my heart so hard at times, I cried like a baby, as I suffered through deep fits of emotion, sadness, heartbreak and happiness.

Muffy Wilson’s eloquent prose in her newest book, Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences, is a milestone in romance novels. She weaves a unique plot that will keep your interest page after page. Jordan is the mother of a daughter, Lily, who is in very ill. When her former lover brings a new dimension to the story, you will plead with the author to reconcile their love. I kept asking the author as I read, will Lily’s innocence bring Jordan and her lover back to the love they once enjoyed? You will find how Lily, both with her illness and innocence can spark the flames to refuel the passion of love from the past. Muffy’s descriptions and imagery goes beyond the realm of prose to poetry. The dialogue is outstandingly believable. When I read scenes of interaction in her book, I felt I was in the room with the characters. You will love this story and the amazing talent of Muffy Wilson. I give 5 Stars to Moonbeams of Unintended Consequences.

This beautifully descriptive story gets off to a wonderful start. Two unforgettable characters share a powerful attraction, and one night of intense passionate sex. Their encounter is brief, but a connection is forged that can’t be broken. Secrets and obstacles stand between them, and sometimes seem insurmountable despite the deep, powerful love at the heart of their relationship. Can they overcome their conflicts? That question kept the pages flying. The more I read, the more I became totally involved and emotionally invested in the outcome. I simply could not put the book down once I started reading. The story was magical in every way. A worthy read!

This book wasn’t at all what I expected. I have never read an erotic novel where children feature so strongly. Muffy Wilson brings them to life on the page with all their lively innocence and healing capabilities. I long to find out what happens to Lily. It’s a story of love, loss and redemption with sympathetic characters in a heart-wrenching situation. Jordan is a fabulous heroine, and her love for Mason is like the music which first drew her to him: full of passion and lyrical longing.

One night was all they had together. When time passes and the two reunite, they have choices that make the question of reconciliation a hard turn and an even harder turn. Descriptive, immersive, and prosaic bordering on poetic at times, I found myself emotionally vested and turning those pages -- eager for the resolution. A recommended read for escape with a vast emotional landscape.
